Wow.

While I admire debian's endeavor to be a universal system but really, I
bet the number of MIPS machine that can
  (A) do the DSP in realtime
and
  (B) display an openGL plugin GUI
equals to zero; and that does not even factor in
  (C) people who use mips-cpus for digital audio processing and
visualization ... and use vanilla debian to do so.

still a interesting if only for getting to the bottom of this g++ bug or
concurrent compile issue.

Many thanks Mira et al, for pursuing this issue to get those plugins
into debian/testing.
